I think there's a pretty big difference between saying all players will get away with as much as they can, and saying all players will trap a guy's stick between their legs, jump straight up in the air, and fall down as if shot.

What worries me is that Nyquist essentially got fined for being bad at diving. If he was a real pro like Kesler, we wouldn't even be talking about this right now.

How'd Weiss look last night? It's a little disappointing he didn't show up on the stat sheet with the extra minutes, but wonder if he was still noticeable out there.

Probably our best player along with Tatar and Datsyuk.

Yeah. Weiss looked great.

I can see why he might fail Babcock's "eye test" because he's not hard or heavy on the puck at all. Or even looking at possesion numbers, he might not fair well because he doesn't keep the puck for long. He makes plays quickly. Quick short pasees, things like this.

But when you play him with skilled players (as was the case last night) you can see that his hands and IQ are top notch.
